Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Hello All,

There is a user on Solaris named: unknown which is reserved for unmappable remote users in NFSv4 ACLs.

What does that mean?

Why this unknown user? we already have nobody/nobody4/noaccess

Can we use another account for this purpose?

Thank you in advance.
